| New York, NY, March 26, 2015-Lion Heart Boxing Productions’ gallant effort to resuscitate professional boxing in Zimbabwe may have been dealt a fatal blow. The Zimbabwe Boxing Board’s unexplained failure to act on a request by the company for permission to stage a boxing tournament in Harare may be the final straw that broke the camel’s back on the company’s “Zim Project.
Abenduan 2014, Lion Heart’s Board of Directors met and resolved to have one final go developing Boxing in Zimbabwe by exploring the possibility of promoting a quarterly boxing series in Harare starting in April 2015. Ondorioz, enpresak bere CFO bidaltzea erabaki, Edward Mendy, Zimbabwe Bakarra tasked Helburu-ikertzeko hosting boxeo Harare txapelketa baten bideragarritasuna ospatuko da on April 16 edo April 23, 2015 Zim ren 35. Independentzia Eguna ospakizun batekin batera, or other date as feasible. Ancillary to same, Mendy Honako tasked zen: (1) data bat baieztatzeko, (2) Euskalduna Jauregian bat ziurtatzeko, (3) book Zim boxers to feature in the Main Event, eta / edo ekitaldi co-nagusia, eta (4) gertaera ostalari taula baimena segurua.
Proposatutako maiatzaren ekitaldi nagusia 2015 inaugural event was slated to feature Former Two Time British Champion and Two Time Commonwealth Champion Danny Williams (46-18) Bulawayo en Thamsanqa Dube kabuz hartu (12-3), a former WBA Pan-African Champion. In the Co-Main Event, Namibia eta antzinako munduko txapelduna Harry Simon (30-0) was selected to take on an opponent to be announced. The Undercard was to be highlighted by a special feature bout–WBC Africa Welterweight Charles Manyuchi (15-2) Bere hasiera lurzoruaren titulua defendatzen du lehen aldiz, inoiz edo, besterik egin rating borroka bat izan zen (Bere Zambian Sustatzailea Chris Malunga eta bere bazkideen onarpenaren mende). Manyuchi is currently the most internationally recognized Zimbabwean Boxer and has been plying his trade in neighboring Zambia since 2012 for lack of options at home. The event would have been broadcasted live on ZTV and streamed live worldwide on the Internet. Gehiago, Gertaera luke izan atzeratu oinarri bat rebroadcasted dute kirol eskualdeetako in the USA bideen bidez, gorako horrek iritsi 165 Million American kable etxebizitza (gorako 100 Million etxe berezia) erabiliz Lion Heart Boxing Productions’ established contractual relationships. Gainera, Gertaera eskualde eta beste merkatuetan sindikatua ari denaren zen, mundu osoan bezala bideragarria.
Konpainiaren Zimbabwe asmo jarraituz, Mendy ezker New York Harare for otsailetik 26, 2015 on exploratory mission. He was received warmly by Zimbabweans of walks of life and spent a very enjoyable and productive ten days in Zimbabwe, visiting various cities and meeting with people. Lion Heart was able to achieve all of the stated goals except the last one, ziurtatzeko ZBB laguntza proposatutako gertakizunerako, nahiz eta lehen bilera Mendy agendan programatutako Batzordeko zen. Zoritxarrez, ez bakarrik ez zuen Zimbabweko Boxing Kontseiluak baldintza nod ematen, ez litzateke, nahiz Kontseiluko bilera ofizial bat deituko Mendy edo taula Lion Heart ren planak jasotzeko. Orain arte, eta hiru aste geroago, Lion Heart has not received any correspondence from the Board on its application to host an event in May. The only information it has received relative to the event is from media reports, Kontseiluak denbora gehiago behar duen batean nahita efektuaren.
Dela ZBB horrek ez-sistemaren erantzuna, Lion Heart regrettably has decided to put its Zim Project on hold indefinitely. Says Lion Heart Event Coodinator Sporty Smith, “We have no choice but to put our Zim Project on hold since the ZBB has failed to afford us the smallest of professional courtesy. We can understand a Board’s refusal to sanction an event it does not like it. A failure by a Board to reply, epeak proposatu elkartu eta bestela huts egiten communcate, ordea, is unheard of. Not only was the board frosty in its welcome of Edward Mendy, it would not even convene a meeting of the board even though advance arrangements were made with it. Gehiago, the Board would not even give us the courtesy of a response despite numerous follow-up inquiries. What is most shocking about the whole thing, ZBB ekintza (edo inactions), ez dela da ZBB gustatzen edozein bere egungo epe benetako boxeo gertakari zigortuko du, Hiru urteko epe hori abenduan iraungi, edo izan duen boxeo gertakari bere egutegian programatuta. Ezta Lion Heart Kontseiluaren ate joka edo boxeo Zimbabwe ekitaldiak sustatzen saiatzen den beste edozein sustatzaileak dira. Horrela, benetan perplexed ari gara ematen, ongietorri oso bero eta unabashed ilusioa gure proiektuaren bestela boxeolariak basetik jasotzen, prestatzaile, Beste boxeo komunitateko kide, komunikabideak, tourism and other government officials as well as ordinary Zimbabweans. Basically we have a Boxing Board that has seen no boxing events in its current term, hala ere, ez da benetako boxeo ekitaldi bakarra da aurretik tabled gainean jarduteko, eta hartan Irteeran nazioartean ezagunak dituzten Txapelketa garrantzitsu proposatu izan da.”
Boxing kirol Zimbabwe garatzen laguntzeko Lion Heart ren ahaleginak, du “Zim Project,” hamarkada bat baino gehiago spanned. In addition to sponsoring various tournaments in Zimbabwe over the last decade, Lion Heart Boxing Productions eta bere jabeak aldez laguntzeko Zimbabweko boxeolariak ugari karrerak saiatu, ondoren, barne boladan Thamsanqa Dube eta Ismael Kuckocha, horiek babesten beren prestakuntza eta karrerak in the USA sakontzeko. Hala ere, zer uste bere ahaleginak onena izan arren, Lion Heart Boxing Productions arrakasta oso mugatua izan du bere Zim Project eta gutxi edo ezer bere aurrerapen Boxing laguntzeko Zimbabwe Herculean ahalegin erakutsiko ditu.
Boxing Zimbabwe torneo duten Lion Heart babesarekin, ez zuen nahi den finantza-emaitzak lortzeko. Gehiago, tokiko hainbat sustatzaile eta Zimbabweko bazkide (Gilbert Munetsi baino beste) that Lion Heart Boxing Productions had contracted with over the years had turned out to be unreliable and unproductive. Many of local promoters and partners promised much and delivered little. Gehiago, the Zimbabwe Boxing Board would not approve the signing of any of the fighters that Lion Heart had interest in the 2000’s. Azkenaldian, Lion Heart adostu tokiko sustatzaile txiki bat lagundu, Delta Force Promociones, with an event he planned by securing the event’s purse money and depositing same with the Boxing Board. The local Promoter, ordea, was unable to organize the event to the Board’s satisfaction. After that experience, Lion Heart azkenik ebatzi 2014 to give up on its Zim Project. Hala ere, Lion Heart Chit Herria oinarritutako idazle ohia eta ZBB Kontseilari Gilbert Munetsi konbentzituta zegoen bere Zim Musikal horretan diraute eta Zim proiektuan lanean jarraitzeko.
Dio enpresa CFO Edward Mendy, “Egia esan, equal credit for our perseverance on the Zim Project should go to Gilbert Munetsi and I. But for our continued pleading and my obstinacy in the face of adversity, Lion Heart luzea bere egindako saiakera Zimbabwe Boxing sartu da amaitu zukeen.”
Erantsiaren Mendy, “Hamar urte baino gehiago arrakasta gure Zim Project gabe lanean aritu ondoren, gure hainbat Zim boxeolariak sinatzeko saiatzen arrakasta eza AEBetara iristen ekarri 2004-2005, Cox Chigwana batera fiasco in 2013 eta gure berriagoa arrakastarik Clyde Musonda eta bere Delta Boxing Productions laguntzeko ahaleginak euren arrazoi gertatuz lortu 2013-14, besterik ez dugu errealitatea Zimbabwe agian ez guretzat izango aurre egin ahal izateko. Our trials and tribulations in Zimbabwe are well-documented, covered in great part by the Zim media and well-known to members of the current Board. While I am not one to give up easily, I learnt a long time ago that there is really no sound business reason for force a promotion in a jurisdiction with an unfriendly board. This is very unfortunate considering the scale of the proposed May event, bere potentzial Boxing JumpStart Zimbabwen eta jasangarria Kirol Turismo ibilgailu gisa balioko, beste eragile eta lan kopuru handia ilusioa dagoeneko jarri Zim Proiektuan.”
